Fifteen class champions left Fort Worth with World titles during the 2022 Kalpowar Quarter Horses Celebration of Champions.

Qualifying for the National Reined Cow Horse Association World Championship Show is only the first step to riding for a World title. When riders arrived at the 2022 Kalpowar Quarter Horses Celebration of Champions, they then had to compete in some of the largest preliminary classes ever held in their respective events. Each World Champion rode not once but twice to top other competitors and take home the titles. Congratulations to each champion!
